Customers wishing to further differentiate their cars can also choose to upgrade to 20-inch M V-spoke light alloy wheels.

Yuen 16 Report post Posted June 4, 2007 The front of the new X5 just doesn't look as good in pics compared to the old one, maybe it's too curvy. Rear looks great though... nice to have an M-Sport X5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
